Our new book SILENT COUP is published today and should be available across all outlets.

It tells the major story of our time: how corporations cannibalised the states that created them—and rendered democracy a hollow shell.

You can buy it here: shorturl.at/efgL7 Image
As European empires crumbled in 20th century, the power structures that had dominated the world for centuries were up for renegotiation. Yet instead of a rebirth for democracy, what emerged was a silent coup against its very core—the unstoppable rise of global corporate power. Image
We started work on the book in 2014 as fellows at @cijournalism and travelled to 25 countries across 5 continents, from Palestine to El Salvador to Cambodia.

I'd recently left the Financial Times, and Claire the Guardian. We both agreed this was the major story of the time. Image

Saudi Arabia is among most horrific dictatorships on Earth—and since 2015, its war on Yemen has, purposefully, turned the country into a living hell.

Since the destruction of Yemen began, 5 major UK papers have taken Saudi regime money to produce and publish propaganda for it. Image
To my knowledge, not 1 journalist at any of those papers has ever publicly denounced their employers taking Saudi blood money.

Could Putin count on such obedience from Russian regime journalists if their media outlets started receiving money from Assad’s Syria? Doubt it.
Britain’s private school system breeds a special kind of obedience to power.

If our media elite were working in Putin’s Russia they would, undoubtedly, be going along with the war on Ukraine, like they do with Yemen.

Power, and their relation to it, is the salient variable.
